FC Halifax Town will entertain League One side Exeter City at the Shay in the Emirates FA Cup 1st Round on Saturday, 3pm kick-off.
The Shaymen take a break from league action thanks to a 3-1 victory over Southport in the 4th qualifying round at Haig Avenue.
Town sit 8th in the National League just two points outside the play-off places and have just lost 1 game in the last 11 in league and cup which came in a 2-1 defeat at Truro.
It’s the first time Halifax have got to the 1st round since 2022 when they were defeated at this stage by Ebbsfleet United.
Exeter’s won 4-3 in midweek over Arsenal U21s in the Football League Trophy and won 2-0 at home to Devon rivals Plymouth in their last league game.
They sit 18th in the League One table and their last away game saw them lose 1-0 away at Stockport County.
The last time a Halifax side faced Exeter City was the old club back in 2006 when Town lost 4-2 at St James Park with Lewis Killeen and John Grant on target for Chris Wilder’s side.
